lOONewMembersi Goal Of Center
July 27 to August 27 has been designed as enrollment month for the Jewish Center's 20th Anniversary A|Iembership Campaign. The goal of the campaign is to enroll 200 new families as members of the Center, 10 for each year the Center has been in existence.
Mr. Roth pointed out that the recent Demographic Study
conducted under the the Franklin County United auspices of the United Jewish Fund and Coimcil, indicated a marked growth in the Jewish population of Columbus, primarily from new people moving into the .city. A major goal of the campaign is to make these newcomers feel wdcome to Columbus and to become active participants in Jewisfi communal life.
The membership cam¬ paign committee, under the leadership of Burton Schildhouse, Bernard Frank and Martin Hoffman, met on July 15 to assign cards for contact as prospective new members. A member was defined as one who is willing to affiliate and identify with the Jewish Center, support its purposes in program, and cooperate With: other members in doing so. He recognizes the Center as a community-wide organization which .em¬ braces a cross, section of Jewish community life.
Other campaign workers attending the initial meeting were: Myer Hausman, Sig Wasserman, Gerald Friedman, Milton Pinsky, Robert Landy'and Mr. and ¦ Mrs. Earl Sonenstein.

Because of rising costs and the urgency of overseas needs, membership income . plays an increasingly im¬ portant role in the support of the Center. Mr. Roth pointed out that inability to pay the full membership fee does not prevent anyone from par¬ ticipating in the Jewish Center program. Through private and confidential consultations with an ex¬ perienced staff member, individual's or families are enabled td participate with a fee based on their personal circumstances.-
In 1969 over $18,000 in 'membership fee ad- - justments were awarded. Persons interested in joining the Center may^ c^ the membership office 231-2731, and arrange for an in¬ terview.
NEllv YORK, (WUP)—The New York Times, whose editorial attitude has not too often been realistic on the (^ question of the Middle East, has finally conceded that the United States must not allow the niilitary balance in the region to be upset. In a recent leading editorial, the Times declared:
' "Hie possibility, cannot be disregarded that American forebearance in arms shi{^ents to Israel has only inflated Soviet ambitions. Unless there is clear evidence soon that these ambitions are being curbed and serious peace negotiations undertaken, the United States will have no choice but io redress the balance by further military aid to Israel." .
JERUSALEM, (WUP)—Jacques Soustelle, the FVench statesman and long-time friend of Israel, . General Pierre Koenig and General P.

Cte-hosts with Begin at the reception honoring the Frenchmen were Ministers Ezer "Weizman, Yosef Sapir and Haim Landau. .
TEL AVIV,. (JTA)—The chairinan of the Knesset Finance Committee, Israel Kragmann, said in Haifa over the weekend that increasing expenditures for security have made tax increases inevitable.

,... JEJiUSALEM: I waited for 2000 years to visit Israel, and I'ijbviously I cannot expect to encompass the land and the ';^,8eople in a series of newspaper arUcles. Today, when "Americans visit Israel by the tens of thousands, the
newspaper reader is constantly deluged by impressions of . Israel. Perhaps I can bring to the task a body of knowledge
and particular viewpoint 'gained' from years of
professional involvement in
the field of J^sh com¬ munity relations. I shall try
to make you share with me
the impact ot Israel. First * impressions are

through the hills does the land begin to effect you. Only with the entry into Jerusalem does history begin to live. Only with your first pilgrimage to the Hotel Hamaharavr, the Western Wall, doe^yo"'" Jewish^fieritage sudd%nly overwhelm you. Only when you stand in front of the new Intercontinental Hotd, built by Americans on the
shamefully desecrated cemetery: on the Mount of Olives, and view the Old City do you frighteningly recall this was the city of Solomon'sr glory. Only wheri you walk through the streets of the Old City do you realize that to'be a Jew in Jerusalem in 1970 is indeed a privilege' denied our fathers before its. No longer for us "I'shana haba b'Yerushalayim." For u 5 ¦ ' ' a c h s'h a v b'Yerushalayim" - now in Jerusalem.
Tlie first sight of the Old C5ty, from the Mount of Olives, is heartrending. The heart of Judaism sits! before us - and the grim reality of the Jordahian occupation' from 1948 to 1967 staggers the imagination. What kind of "friend of the West" can
Hussein ' be if he
systematically and
shockingly destroyed the
holy graves of the Jewish
dead on the Mount of Olives
to build a new hotel on them -
and to use the gravestones to
pave roads and build

Old City itself, a walk
through what for centuries
was the Jewish Quarter
